Love Caring for Furry Friends🐶🐱🐰

My husband and I just moved to Minot after being stationed at Barksdale AFB. Before that, I was a missileer at Malmstrom until 2024, and now work as a mental health counselor. I’ve been doing Rover since 2018 and absolutely love getting to meet and care for dogs. I live an active lifestyle, going on daily walks/jogs/runs and hikes and bike rides on weekends. Because I love staying active and getting outside as much as possible, I know your doggo and I will get along:) I enjoy taking caring of animals of all sorts. Small/large, furry/no-shed, young/old. I love all shapes, coats, and sizes! In addition to having raised my labradoodle (who now is living with my parents) and now our Weimaraner lab mix, I have cared for many other dog breeds, including Australian Shepherds (mini and full-sized) Basset Hounds, Beagles, Boston Terriers, Golden Doodles, German Shepard's, Grey Hounds, Labradors, Shih Tzus, and Siberian Huskies. I have also watched over several kittens, chickens, goats, ferrets, snakes, lizards, fish, Guinea pigs and just plain ol' pink pigs! We living in a home with a fenced yard with the yard being 1.5 acres. We have a female Weimaraner/Lab mix who LOVES to play and gets along well with other dogs and animals. I hope I get the chance to meet & watch over your furry friend/s according to their care needs. My husband also helps me care for animals.

Ellen and her husband are the nicest people. They treated my dogs as their own. She sent updates (with pictures) at least twice a day. We were able to enjoy our vacation more because we knew our babies were being taken care of. She played with them so much that now I’m sure they think our house is boring. We love Ellen and will definitely be back!
